Assuming you mean favourite/the one I'm best at - flute.

I suppose in theory you could be, say, a full-time teacher of piano, but the instrument you enjoy playing the most is the violin. I would say your primary instrument would still be the piano. Similarly you could be an orchestral musician on, say, clarinet, but prefer playing the piano for pleasure - I would say the clarinet is the primary instrument. But having said that, it's up to the individual to decide what they consider to be their primary instrument if they play more than one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Ahh OK. Well I guess the flute fits into both those definitions, mostly... so that's OK! (on bad days of course it gets relegated to "instrument I am rubbish at and hate with a passion!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif))

(Violin I have been playing for somewhat longer, but in terms of skill and enjoyment I'm afraid it'd still lose out!)

I voted for violin. I don't think any other instrument could ever take the place it seems to have acquired in my heart, and I really don't know where I'd be now if I hadn't taken it up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Favourite: organ
Spend most time working on: organ
Highest exam pass: clarinet
Play most confidently: flute
Perform with most regularly: voice
Been playing the longest: piano

I voted organ, cos it's the one I'm most serious about and the one I love best, even though (or maybe partly because?) it's a tough challenge to learn.
It's not the thing I play best at the moment, but I hope that one day it will be.

T.

I think flute has taken over from piano as my primary instrument. I definetly enjoy it more.
